Should A Balance Budget Be Part Of The Indiana Constitution?

INDIANAPOLIS  — Voters this year are being asked whether they support an amendment to the Indiana Constitution obligating the General Assembly to adopt balanced budgets unless two-thirds of the members of both chambers vote to suspend the requirement. 

 

It was first proposed by Vice President Mike Pence when he was Indiana’s governor in his 2015 State of the State address.

 

Public Question No. 1 goes before the voters after it cleared two separate General Assemblies.
